* indicates a really good read (or possibly a newly read book that is still resonating) There were actually a few others that I immediately cut as not appealing to me. Sorry.
I'm still working through a 2013 and 2014 list. I've rarely been disappointed with any book on 'the list'. Hope you enjoy some of these titles, too. Many, I've never heard of, but anxiously look forward to reading.
It's been a very good day!
beach finds (those are 'heart' stones at the top, in case you can't tell)
and
lobster rolls
oops
lobster roll
(I didn't waste calories on the roll and fries)
because....
oh, yes.
Good night.
Have some lobster for me! Hope you are having a wonderful time

Great list Steph.
I am so glad you are getting some beach time in, it's good for the soul.

Wow, if only I could read that many books! The lobster roll looks incredible! xx

Pick a stone with a smooth surface for each of your loved ones. Write their names on it with a permanent marker. Put them into a favorite bowl of choice. When you pray, hold one in your hand and think of and pray for that person. It is very rewarding.

I'm going to copy that list (the star ones...) I love some good recommendations. I hope you are having fun with your friends :)

I wish I was wherever it is you are! I am sure, by the looks of it, you are having a marvelous time. I will have to spend some time looking up the books on your list. I have a read a couple of them--and many sound very intriguing just by their title.

I'm really behind with everyone's posts but popping in here I always take time to linger among the yarn and the books (and the lobster rolls!) ... it's a special kind of heaven ;)

Oooo... what a list, and such variety! I used to make yearly read lists, but not anymore. I love lists. But it's oddly free-ing to not list, and still do... ;o) LOVE the heart rocks!! Oh, it's been YEARS since I've had a good, fresh lobster roll. Not easy to get lobster here. Can get frozen in better supermarkets... maybe I should try the frozen? Oh, and yes, must save room for ice cream after. ;o) Happy Summer Days ((HUGS)

Oh, take me away to the beach! We somehow skipped this summer's trip, and I am regretting it!
Posted by: Emily | 07/31/2015 at 08:49 AM
Thanks for sharing your list Steph! I meant to tell you that The Kid loved The One and Only Ivan, he pulled it off the shelf for me to read and he's already thinking his BFF who just returned home for the summer will enjoy it as well.

I have missed so much this week - haven't been in blog land much. Is this a list of books you have read this year? Curious. You always read interesting things. Will have to look for some of these titles, including Harper Lees "new" old pre-TKAM novel. I loved TKAM sooooo much, don't know if I can handle a "racist" Atticus Finch. If you read it, tell us what you think! Have a great week!

Oh thanks I was hoping that you'd share your list. I've only Toast and am still reading Go Set a Watchman so lots of choice here. That lobster is making me drool....yummy...
